Two people hospitalised after 14ft fall into basement

Engines from Highfields and Central attended the scene and the two casualties were taken to hospital by the East Midlands Ambulance Service.

At 6:45pm on Saturday night a major incident was declared in Campbell Grove, off Robin Hood Street, St Ann’s. House No 1, the Promenade adjacent Victoria Park is up for sale and there have been people viewing the property over the last few days. There are unconfirmed reports that there were some people on the main stairs inside the building which suddenly collapsed without warning.

The Promenade St Ann’s is a row of large houses adjacent Victoria Park which were built around 1800, and are therefore over 200 years old.
